The box has been hand carved from sheesham wood (sometimes spelt shesham or shisham (Dalbergia Sissoo) and referred to as North Indian Rosewood), which is sustainable and part of the rose wood family.
This wood is durable and fast growing, reaching maturity in only 15-20 years, compared to 80-90 years for hardwoods such as teak.
Please note: wipe clean with a dry cloth.
A wax polish can be used.
